Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

On another note, I'd like to vent about people voting to abandon parties after one or two wipes. The newest raid is so bad about that - everyone rage quits on that one guy and it's like... well, you're not going to get past him giving up either.

I've only done Rabanastre once, but I didn't think it was that bad. Not even Hashmal. I'm sure I'll run into a bad group soon enough, tho.

As for a story, I was in a weeping city yesterday that had a MT who'd never tanked it before, so we ended up nearly wiping to Forgall (no HG for hell wind and me not paying attention meant that he ate a few people before I picked him up), and then the fun one: people tunnel ozma toward the end, and I ended up soloing the last 1-2%, literally killing him about 1 second before walking dead (LD) falls off and kills me. That netted me 6 comms. Run was actually pretty smooth other than that.

I ran Sastasha (HM) earlier while leveling my SCH. Yeah... I'm not the best SCH but I really fudged up during the first boss. Uh so, long story short? I forgot to set Esuna, I kept forgetting to shield people before they got hit by the tornado, I forgot to but Eos on obey, and I wasted all my Aetherflow early on using Energy Drain. Yeah, both DPS died once each, and the fight was won with all of us except the BLM at low HP. The BLM was dead. >_> I swear to god I'm not a noob.

The run went perfect after that. It kind of kicked me in the ass and told me "get your shit together".

IIRC that ability can also be interrupted on the first boss, so that's not just on you.

Oh right, I forgot to mention. All three others were new to the dungeon. So the tank didn't know and I forgot to tell him.. xD

The more i am doing some savages, the more i find funny these players that, after one wipe, two at best, say "NO ONE knows the mechanics !!!" and then quit the group right away. "NO ONE" said like they are the only one in the group to be a pgm while all other are noobs that are charging blindly without a clue of what to do. Talk about an inflated ego.

Especially when the wipes are coming from one or two players max, and all the others are doing well.

And even more especially when entering a training group with a "first time trying this" comment in the party finder. What did you expect, to have free loot right away ? XD

The more i am doing some savages . . .

To be fair, when I am joining farm groups (specifically farm groups, not learning or clear parties), I have a three-strikes rule: three wipes, and I leave because some of the groups are just that hopeless. I'd rather leave and find a more competent group when I'm looking to farm content with PUG groups. This is for Savages and Extremes. My tolerance is lower if the group is advertising "fast, easy clears; high DPS only".

Learning parties and clear parties are a different story, but my tolerance with farm groups has gone down a lot the past month because of how bad a lot of them can be (I'm talking wiping to Alte Roite or barely able to make it past the first Long Drop in V2S).

I've only done Rabanastre once, but I didn't think it was that bad. Not even Hashmal. I'm sure I'll run into a bad group soon enough, tho.

Oh, consider yourself blessed. I run Rabanastre anymore just for the meme-runs. They can be...very disastrous. The one I did this morning wiped to Mateus because everyone completely ignored the Aqua Spheres and there was no safe spot to stand for Blizzard IV.

There weren't any other wipes, but the three bards in my party died close to 30 times between them. The BLM died 6 or 7 times. Can't remember, but it was a lot.

They definitely shouldn't generalize like that.

Until you get some idiot MNK or DRG that has stun in their "rotation". Then you're screwed.
Stun should never be part of any rotation at 50.

It was a while ago but I had a Rabanastre run where I cast 24 raises within my own party. No wipes either, just all the deaths. My cohealer and the SMN in the party apparently forgot where their SC/Raise buttons were... y'know, when they weren't dead.

I had someone argue with me today, claiming that RDM shouldn't use Verraise because it hurts their DPS... as if making me hardcast Raise while someone else is dead is somehow not hurting group DPS far more.

I don't even...
